Thesis Abstract

This research project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls in preventing fraud within organizations. Fraud has become a significant concern for businesses, leading to financial losses, reputational damage, and legal consequences. Internal controls are designed to safeguard assets, ensure accurate financial reporting, and deter fraudulent activities. However, it is essential to assess the effectiveness of these controls to identify potential gaps and improve fraud prevention measures. This study will analyze various internal control mechanisms, such as segregation of duties, authorization procedures, and monitoring systems, to determine their impact on fraud prevention. The findings will provide valuable insights for organizations to enhance their internal control frameworks and mitigate the risk of fraud.
